The Shoebox - by Stephanie DeBry

The Shoebox is an insightful and entertaining family saga spanning four generations. A Southern woman tells a family story which in many ways is America’s story from the 1940s to the present. Ms. DeBry’s characters are colorful and authentic. They enter from every corner of life’s stage and never fail to surprise. If you or your family was part of the babyboom era, the Shoebox is a must read.

A Southern, Christian, American Family —
The Blake family in Stephanie DeBry’s memoir The Shoebox is both a Southern family and a babyboom family fighting to claim their space on the expanding postwar American landscape. Morgan Blake returns from service in the South Pacific to find a land filled with a new buzz, but still laboring with many of the old moralities his preacher father had drilled into his reluctant skull. For Morgan and his wife Elizabeth it is an exciting and frightening time. Day by day they dance to life’s rhythms, moving to music seemingly played by ear. But despite all the uncertainty, they do what every other postwar couple is doing: they have babies. Four girls and a boy. A lot of mouths to feed. And a lot of adventures along the way.
